Today is the 20-year anniversary of the day I met my husband, Mike. An auspicious occasion, to be sure, although neither one of us knew at the time how much of one it would be for both of us long-term, per se. I was dating someone else and we were just friends for a number of years before I broke up with the other guy and Mike and I started dating in 1991. But today... today is special. Because we met. And because we liked each other enough to be friends and hang out and do stuff together as friends. Until we became more.

Here's to 20 years... almost half my life. I'm so glad I met you, Mike! And thanks for letting me make various.... errr... mix tapes from your CDs.
